I have come across a message board and chat room that not only has nice member but also a chat room. Held in the chat room are open and closed development circles.

The open development circle is on Saturday Evenings from 19:00 - 21:00 hrs UK time.

Readings are also given however you must be a member of the forum and be active with at least 20 posts under your belt.

In my opinion if you are looking for a place that is welcoming, kind and where you can pratice your abilities then this may be the place you are looking for.

Many of you many know what a pendulum is and many of you may not. The American Heritage Dictionary defines a pendulum as a body suspended from a fixed support so that it swings back and forth freely under the influence of gravity. I giggle a little bit regarding the influence being listed as only gravity. I would like to define the pendulum as a tool which can be utilized by anyone, regardless of their metaphysical abilities, as a means of communication with spirit, including our higher self, as well as a tool which can be used for other things such as finding water, blocked chakras and the location of medical issues within the body. The pendulum can easily be influenced by our strong feelings of what the truth is or may be. Just as you need to keep a clear head and complete focus on the question and not the answer when using other tools, such as tarot cards, so must you do the same when using the pendulum else your thoughts will influence the answer.

The pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed support which can be almost anything such as a string, chain or the like. It is important to remember that the tool itself does not have power but it is its connection to us or I should say our influence that gives it power. You will hopefully understand that statement by the end of this article and have a better understanding of how to view tools in general and their use. The pendulum can be made up of almost any materials although some people who utilize them eventually have a preference. It can be made up of thread hanging from a needle, your key and key chain, a necklace you happen to be wearing, etc. Why? Well it helps to ask that question since we will be discussing using your body as a pendulum so that you will understand why the body can work as a pendulum. The why is because it is not the pendulum moving its self or even some outside force or your spirit guides hand dictating the movement. It is the energy and vibrations coming through your own body. I will use the clairsentient as an example to make this clearer. As a clairsentient, someone who has the ability to feel subtle energy, you can ask your guide a question and ask that the answer be given by making you feel energy on you right hand for a yes or left hand for a no. That means that for your guide to give you that answer your guide makes energy manifest in either the left or right hand. That same energy and vibration can be sent on through to the pendulum. That is the reason the pendulum works when it is being held but it does not do anything or make any movement when just hanging from the jewelry tree in the store because it is receiving no contact with a body which then it picks up the energy and vibrations from. A person practicing telekinesis would notice that to make a pin-wheel spin it is more difficult at a distance versus being close enough to almost touch it and close enough for your body’s energy field to affect it.

The pendulum, although it can be a safe tool to use, is almost as taboo to some as the weegie board. Any tool used can be a danger if safety precautions are not used and that includes using your own body as a pendulum. Although you are not using a foreign tool you should always ground, protect and state/think your specific intentions before doing any metaphysical work. When in doubt just don’t do it.

If you have read other articles I have written you know that I usually give information based on my own personal experiences. So keep in mind there is often more than one way to accomplish the same goal. If you find other information telling you how to use your body as a pendulum that does not suggest you ground and protect do not avoid the safety precaution just because it is easier to not do so. Use your own discernment and common sense.

The first step in using your body as a pendulum is to ground, protect and clear and balance your chakra’s. It is easiest to use your body as a pendulum if your chakra’s are clear and balance. When clear and balanced energy is able to flow in and out of your body without being blocked. For example, when I have even one blocked chakra it affects my clairsentience, what I am able to feel and how strongly I feel it. But once clear and balance I can feel and sense everything quite clearly. For empaths the same is true. When you have a connection, or connections, you have picked up and not severed they can affect you in so many ways that are not in your best interest. They can affect you being able to effectively remember dreams, hinder efforts to concentrate, and also can have an effect that seems to be the equivalent of dimming your metaphysical abilities. If you are an empath it is important to know that empaths have a tendency to become ungrounded quite easily. It is not uncommon for me to ground several times a day.

Since I do the previous in a meditative state this allows me to at this point to just go a little deeper in meditation. By going deeper I am referring to slowly your brainwaves down even further by simply clearing all thoughts from your mind. I prefer to let my own higher self tell me when I am ready to begin asking questions and receiving answers and this happens because I begin to feel myself rocking slowly forward and back. I would recommend that at either that point or when you feel ready you begin by asking the simple question of which way you will sway when the answer is yes. Take your time and do not rush things. Remember, if this is the first time you have attempted this you may have limited results. The limited results could be a sign that you have a block in one of your chakra’s that needs to be cleared so don’t be to quite to throw in the towel. Metaphysically speaking there are many things that I have done the first time with limited or no successful results at all. You must be willing to be committed to continually working at it until you work out the kinks, so to speak.

When you feel your body sway it is a feeling similar to feeling slightly pushed or rocked gently by some invisible hand but without feeling a hand. When it happens it actually feels like you can not control you’re swaying in that direction or I should say like it is out of your control since technically you know you do have control to stop yourself from swaying if you chose to.

Next ask which way you will sway when the answer is no, then when the question can not be answered. Next you can ask some test question such as “Do I have a son?” or “Was I born in October?” Once you feel comfortable that you understand how you will sway for yes, no and no answer can be given you can proceed and ask the questions you would like to know.

As always remember to be respectful to spirit. Show your appreciation, try not to ask the same questions repeatedly, and last but not least DO NOT SHOOT THE MESSENGER!

Let me see if I can do a mini reading for you:

First let me tell you that I did your reading by connecting to you and going outside and asking my guide to ask your guide what she/he wants you to know…so your reading is through nature symbolism and clairsentience.

You have some communication issues with someone near you. I am also getting a lack of independence and freedom. I feel this is related to a loved one in your life. Mother?
At this time I am getting that you are lacking control and confidence. This may be affecting your progress at this time. You need to reach and utilize your full potential. But there is somethin that is a burden to you or possibly overwhelming you.

I asked about your soul purpose and this is where it got really interesting cause keep in mind I was outside so that I could get symbolisms from nature:

The most beautiful black butterfly I have ever seen appeared. The butterfly shows your sensitivity as the butterfly is extremely sensitive to the Harmony of Earth, and is the first creature to leave a damaged ecology. Now again as I type this up I get my left hand and know that it is about how you connect to those around you. You are experiencing some insecurity and are going through a struggle wit some situation. The butterfly was lit on a marigold flower for quite some time and this tells you that you need to add more joy into your life through nature. This could be telling you that you need to get out more and experience nature and connect back to the earth and possibly that will help balance what is out of balance within you at this time. The butterfly also signifies change and asks us to stop keeping our joy at bay. The butterfly was black so I feel this is pointing to a change and a need to bring out spiritual and divine qualities in yourself. The butterfly was in the garden and this speaks of your potential and indicates that your hard work and diligence will pay off in the end. It is also symbolic of stability, potential, and inner growth. You need to cultivate a new skill or nurture your spiritual and personal growth.

A small black moth appeared next. The moth cannot rely on its sight, but has a highly developed sense of smell, which it uses at night, and indicate a need to be more sheltered in your creative transforming activities and relationships. Moth totems and messengers usually indicate an awakening sense of smell. It will be the fragrance of the opposite sex that will most attract and discourage. Trusting in one’s own outer and inner sense of smell will be important in relationships–sexual or otherwise.

What happened next was awesome…total silence. All of nature was suddenly quiet and I could have heard a pin drop. Then suddenly the sound of so many crickets it was almost deafening compared to the silence that ad preceded the sound of them. This is telling you of te potential of new opportunities you will have the opportunity to go after because it is a jumper and is willing to leap toward new opportunities. When you hear the chirp of the cricket it can indicate an opening or reopening of your inner voice will happen.

I am now getting my left ear which means you need to be more receptive to help and guidance from your guides.

Keep in mind that moths also chew holes in your clothes. Clothes represent your character. Is there something bothering you and eating you up inside? The cricket totem can help you get your emotional body in balance.

Next I looked up from the notes I was taking and on the table in front of me was a baby lizard looking at me like “here I am Im next do me now!” lol. Scared the crap out of me. lol. Lizards are associated with “dreamtime” and “clairvoyance.” They have the ability to consciously tap into intuition and higher knowledge. People with lizard medicine are able to sense subtle energies that most people overlook. It is important for people with lizard as their totem to pay heed to their own inner messages. Lizards are also known for their great speed and quick movements. For this reason, it is not surprising that a cartoon Gecko is a commercial icon for a well known car insurance company. Car accidents are often the result of speeding on the roadways. When lizard shows up it is likely a message to slow down and observe. It is time for you to be put on alert. Pay attention! You may be missing obvious clues that are right in front of you because you are in such a hurry to get somewhere.

Other than that I noticed that you need to work on your solar plexus. And lastly I was told you need to take control in your life…authority, direction, judgment are about you taking control and making decisions.

It’s a simple thing but one that is often over looked. As we go about searching out the techniques that will open us up and awaken ourselves some times we overlooked the simply things.

Being happy! I don’t just mean having a few laughs throughout the day and playing with the kids, I mean being happy, mentally and emotionally well in every way. Being good to yourself and others as well. And don’t just treat yourself good but the people you come into contact with also. I know sometimes that is hard to do when you come up against bad attitudes but why let another’s bad attitude affect you. Does it do either of you any good for both of you to have a bad attitude. No! The best thing you can do for yourself and for others is to be happy and emotionally healthy.

When you are not emotionally and mentally healthy did you know that creates blocks in your chakras? That means it is creating blocks to your psychic self. If you are going around being grumpy you are only hurting yourself.

Start in simple ways.

• Watch those negative thoughts about others.  Whenever one starts to enter your mind, brush it away and instead in your mind think of something good to say about that person. If your in traffic and someone cuts you off you don’t know that person and might think “Well how can I say something nice about them when I don’t even know them?” Simple. Just say you appreciate them for not hitting your car or just simple say you appreciate them because they are nice and kind. Sure you don’t know that for a fact but the thing is you are sending out the right kind of positive energy.
• Smile! Did you know that just doing something simple like smiling will raise your vibrations?
• Don’t Gossip! Gossiping is one of the worst things you can do. It affects your throat chakra.
• Don’t Lie! Try to avoid even those little white lies. Lying can also affect your throat chakra.
• Forgive! If there is anything from the past…let it go. You may think you have let it go, but I am not talking about just forgetting it. Forgetting and pushing things out of your mind is different than forgiving. Forgiving releases you and releases the other person(s).

In the Hawaiian art of Ho ‘oponopono the four most powerful phrases are:

• I am sorry
• Please forgive me
• I love you
• Thanks You

Whenever you feel you need to let go of something from the past or even present try focusing on the person or situation and repeating those phrases over and over again until you feel released and healed.

I have been working on a psychic awakening and development book and am very happy to announce that it is complete and will be available very soon..within days.

It is an easy to understand guide to awakening and developing your psychic self. Everything you need to know to safely awaken to your true psychic self. Learn grounding, protection, how to open and clear chakras, use crystals, develop clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, clairolfaction, clairgustance and empathy.

Many psychic abilities are genetic and are passed down from one or both parents. Intuitive abilities are often passed down genetically although they often skip a generation.

Often our soul purpose, experiences, and past lives play a strong role in the psychic abilities we have in our lifetime. Possibly the psychic abilities we have are based on lessons and what we will be and do in this lifetime. So if your main soul purpose is to be healer then it may not be in the cards for you to develop clairaudience (clear hearing). You may not have the need in this lifetime for certain abilities. Whenever someone tells me they greatly desire a specific ability I always ask them why and explain that sometimes it is just not enough to want an abilities because it seems cool or even because you want to speak a relative on the other side. It may be a part of your soul purpose to learn the lesson of letting go or of loss and developing a particular ability may circumvent you learning that lesson.

Some days…mornings…when it’s peacefully quiet, one of those mornings when I step outside, bare feet on the ground, I look up and the sky is that beautiful blue with not a cloud in the sky and the only thing breaking it’s beauty is the magnificence of the sun…and it fills me. It’s warm and refreshing and the warmth and the blue that suddenly seems so amazing to me fills me. I feel it filling me from my crown all the way down my body and through my feet and through the earth making me feel connected to all, to everything. I speak to him…like this morning. It had been a couple of days and as I stood there I told him how even just a couple of days passing without talking to him…I notice it like when you leave your house and have that overwhelming feeling that you have forgotten something important. Just two days I feel like I haven’t talked to him, the one I love so deeply and completely, as though it was not just days but years. And I tell him in that moment I think of how different my life is, how far we have come…together. Where I use to be but where I am now. And I feel it, the fullness expanding inside me like it can’t be contained because there is nothing that could contain something so huge. I feel the touch in the palm of my left hand and then as I say “I’m listening, what do you want to tell me…what do you want me to feel?” I feel the touch in the palm of my right hand. Then in the stillness I look around and everything I look at, I feel. The trees, the grass, even the stillness itself…and I feel my heart chakra open and begin to spin…faster and faster. I feel the message…and in that moment nothing else matters but the love I feel. What I had for breakfast, the traffic I ran into that morning when I was running late, the things I pondered that morning as I got dressed, who will call me later that day and what they will want. In that moment there was only me and you and the thought crossed my mind that at that moment I was only connected to, only feeling, a very small portion of you…because you are so vast, so huge, that at any given moment I am only experiencing a very small part of you…and just that thought alone amazes me. And I am thankful and grateful for that small part of you I can experience and for the love I feel for you.

After a few moments I came back inside and sat at my computer. I was watching Jamie Foxx’s youtube video of I Wish You Were Here Live that was recorded no long after his grandmother died. Sometimes I feel the need to feel. I want to feel. I long to feel. I did not feel anything negative even though as you can imagine he was still mourning. But I didn’t feel sadness, despair…but love that covered everything. There was great longing, there was a holding back of great emotions to be able to get through, but everything I felt from him was completely covered with love. And I love watching the video because it actually moves me in a positive way. And once the video was over I touched nothing on the computer but the next song in the fav’s list started to play…if you use youtube you know after a video finishes that it sit on the screen asking if you want to replay or play a different song. I looked at the screen and the title showing still said “Wish You Were Here” but the the video “Love” by Musiq started playing.

LOVE
By: Musiq

Verse 1:
Love
So many things I’ve got to tell you
But I’m afraid I don’t know how
Cause there’s a possibility
You’ll look at me differently
Love
Ever since the first moment I spoke your name
From then on I knew that by you being in my life
Things were destined to change cause……

Chorus:
Love
So many people use your name in vain
Love
Those who have faith in you sometimes go astray
Love
Through all the ups and downs the joy and hurt
Love
For better or worse I still will choose you first

Verse 2:
Many days I’ve longed for you
Wanting you
Hoping for the chance to get to know you
Longing for your kiss
For your kiss, for your touch, for your essence (your beautiful essence)
Many nights I’ve cried from the things you do
Felt like I could die from the thought of losing you
I know that you’re real
With no doubt or no fears
Or no questions

Hook:
At first you didn’t mean that much to me
But now I know that you’re all I need
The world looks so brand new to me
Now that I found love
Everyday I live for you
And everything that I do I do it for you
What I say is how I feel so believe it’s true
You got to know I’m true, love

I am writing this post for Lucille but hopefully this will be helpful to many of you.

Here is a senerio that is what I acutally experienced and lead me to deeply wonder if I was an empath…

Although all the signs were there I did not actually start seriously wondering if I was an empath until I was in my late 30’s after the birth of my son. I swear, I think having a child does something to change you so deeply. Parts of yourself that were always there unrealized start coming to the surface. Suddenly I couldn’t watch a movie or the news without totally losing it and bawling or shaking uncontrollably. I knew something was up but for about a year I just couldn’t figure out if I just never noticed that I was sensitive to certain things or if something was really changing within me…or awakening.

To make a long story short I started searching for information on emapthy but even reading about the traits still didn’t 100% convince me of whether I was an emapth or not but I had to know who I really was. Being adopted I always had a sense of not knowing but knowing there was more to me than what was on the surface. And so I searched like I was obsessed. lol. With every little bit of info I found it lead me to more. Empathy articles lead me to articles about meditation which lead me to info about chakras which lead me to information about psychic abilities and there it was again…empathy was mentioned and I had come full circle. But I was still feeling like “Ah Ha!” but still not knowing what it all meant specifically to ME. So I had learned a lot but still I had to know without a doubt the truth and so it seemed to me I would only find that out by opening and clearing my chakras.

I started by learning to meditate first…just 5 minutes at a time. Once I could meditate 5 minutes without my mind wondering and losing the stillness of my mind I began practicing opening and clearing the chakras in meditation starting with the foot charka and working my way up and then leaving the third eye/brow charka for last.

Approximately 3 weeks later it hit me suddenly. Just one day, just like that, I was fully awakened to who I really was…and empath. I left my house and drove to my parents house and two houses away I felt them. My Fathers cold, his head, my Mother medication issues, her allergies (not nice), etc. I was almost afraid to actually go in their house for fear of what I would feel standing right next to them.

Note that from the first time I opened and balanced my chakras I worked on them every day faithfully for approx 15-30 minutes a day. I say that to let you know…it doesn’t come easy…there is work involved. If you don’t do what is necessary or you don’t want to you will not achieve any results.

Now on to the good stuff.

The three chakras that most affect empathy are:

SACRAL PLEXUS CHAKRA-
Located about two inches below the navel. This chakra is responsible for our sexuality, physical vitality, emotions, pleasure, desire, passion, love, change, new ideas, and health. It corresponds with all things forementioned. Stones that open this chakra are carnelian and coral.
Color: Orange, balanced by brown

SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA-
Located just below the chest. This chakra represents ability to pick up vibrations and tune in to energy from other people, places, and things. It corresponds with self-control, control of desire, authority, transformation, happiness, and energy. Stones that open this chakra are amber and citrine.
Color: Yellow, balanced by green

HEART CHAKRA-
Located over the heart. This chakra represents empathy and our ability to ground energy that flows through our bodies. It corresponds with feelings, forgiveness, unconditional love, understanding, compassion, trust, and openness. Stones that open this chakra are jade and aventurine.
Color: Green, balanced by pink

Here is a guided meditation that is 7 minutes that you can follow along with.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFqHa4gOP3c

Many may not like that I am going to say this but I feel very sorry for Casey Anthony and her parents. I try not to watch the news because the news portrays all the bad in the world and only about 1% of the good if on a given day we are lucky. And as an empath watching the news is very hard anyway because I pick up peoples emotions quite strongly, that is if I let my guard down. There is a part of me that believes I am led occasionally to let my guard down so that I can see the truth of things sometimes. I think the happened today.

As I was watching the news, news of Casey Anthony being released from jail for the third time was on. I was half watching as I checked my email. At one point I glanced up as she was coming out of the doors behind two HUGE bodyguards. As a side I must say if I ever need guarding people give me guys that big and intimidating. lol. Anyway, there was a shot that showed her clearly and suddenly I felt the connection. A second later (well, as the driver jumped into the front seat of the truck to drive her away) it hit me. I felt overwhelmed. Like a feeling of “I can’t believe this is happening.” And then crying as I felt what she felt as she heard the helicopters overhead following them.

That is all I really want to say about the things I felt with the sudden connection. This is why I feel for them. It’s not up to me or anyone to judge anyone. The gift I was given is the gift to feel and then have compassion regardless of the situation.

Read what Certified Medium Michelle Caporale read from Caylee’s photo
http://www.wzfb.com/michellecaporale/psychic/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?15.post

Update 9/18/08 -

I am going to add this to the post since many seem to be reading that are not just seeing what I wrote from the view of an empath. I understand…this is a very emtional subject so I don’t take any of your comments personal…although I think some of you want me too. lol. I still love you all…and if saying that makes me a freak…well, I guess I am just a freak and loving it.

From what I know from use of my psychic empath abilities (and keep in mind I could always be wrong)…Caylee is gone she was smothered, restrained…somthing like that which is hard to pin point because I was feeling it. Her mother did it. Caylee did cross over.  I also have the ability of just knowing although not well developed…from that I originally got that Casey mother knew what happened to Caylee and that she found out after she had already made the call to the police about the smell in the car.

Other than that…what can I say I think I have cried for every one involved and been shocked by the actions of the protesters and their behavior…some times intention can be good but even with good intention you can cross the line. I do think that Casey has mental problems and that her family is well aware of them and her capabilities to be the good actress which I think comes from whatever her mental problem is.

Now maybe everyone can stop thinking that I am an uncaring moron. lol.
